The pair began their careers in 1996 presenting the afternoon programme on Hallam FM in Sheffield, before moving to Liverpool to host shows on both Radio City and its sister station Magic 1548.
A move to Manchester followed in 2002, where the duo presented the drivetime programme on the Northwest regional station Century FM (now Real Radio).
Firstly, "Around the World" (in which contestants had to guess the length of a live conversation between the presenters and a foreign hotel receptionist) and the "One-Sided phone calls" which were a departure from the tried and tested telephone prank.
Firstly, the silver for Music Radio Personalities Of The Year in 2009 (where they were beaten to gold only by Chris Evans), and most recently the bronze for Best Breakfast Show in 2011.
Guests generally appeared remotely (apparently speaking from a mysterious "booth" in London), and often it was never clear which parts of an interview were genuine and which were the result of deliberately bizarre editing.
